CAS-ual Friday: Birthday Card by Sue

Good afternoon and happy Friday 13th! It's Sue here, and it's my turn to share my CAS-ual Friday project.  I've made a birthday card 'cos birthdays never go out of fashion, in fact I've had lots, and lots, and lots...
It may not be high tech, but I like it, and more importantly it could be used as a Man Card - I know, that's almost a swear word isn't it!
I won't blind you with the science of how this was made ;-) suffice to say small ink pads were used. I've deliberately made the lines a bit wonky 'cos I think that people would pay extra for that!
I've used stamps from 
Merry Magpie and
Happy Birthday 
All of the wonderful stamps can be found here.
Have a very happy weekend - no walking under ladders, and be kind to black cats. Thanks very much for looking x

Cool card, Sue! Easy and lovely! Of course people pay more for wonky lines....LOL.
I didn't even know that today's Friday the 13th - till I read your last paragraph. I've been walking ON a ladder today, a stepladder. No cats around, only dogs. I'll be fiiiine! Thank you so much for sharing! ♥ ♥ ♥

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between

Atc´s Textured Birds by Verónica

Image
Hi everyone, Verónica is here. Today I come with a colorful and fun series of Atc´s that I have made with the beautiful  Textured Birds set .  Let's go step by step, so you can cheer up and make your own.I hope you enjoy it and you like it, it is done with great affection. We cut watercolor paper that measures 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches, if you prefer in centimeters 8,9cm by 6,4 cm approximately. Now we create the backgrounds by coloring with watercolors, pigments, or inks. I have used pigments dissolved in water, to give it a watercolor effect. When they are ready and dry we apply textured paste with some stencils that we like. In my case Distress Textured Paste (crackle). We can use the embossing gun to speed up the process or let it dry. We continue, we are going to stamp these adorable and cute little birds with a waterproof ink. Comes one of the most relaxing and fun parts, the coloring. You can use what you have or what you are used to
